Dimension Weaver: My Wife Is The Dragon Empress!

Chapter 66: Chapter 66- Trust and Skill Mastering

"Huh?" Talon looked at Hyun-Jae with a confused expression as he blinked quickly. For a second, his mind refused to register what she said.

"I have no other place to sleep in and this room is the farthest away from the noise so I thought I would ask you if I can sleep here," Hyun-Jae explained quickly when she realized how absurd what she said was.

Talon: "..."

"Pfft, hahahaha! This girl is something else, I tell you, Talon." Acrypha said in laughter as she held her stomach. Her giggles filled the room like a divine melody. "She's more daring than you. Maybe you should humor her a little and share the bed together."

"Cough! Cough! Cough!" When Talon heard that, he almost choked on his own saliva and started coughing awkwardly. Then, he gave Acrypha a strong glare to the side before he turned to Hyun-Jae.

"Ehem, that makes sense. Sure, I'm not using the mattress so you can sleep there." He said.

"Really?" Hyun-Jae asked with a hint of anxiousness in her tone. "It's fine if you don't want to. I can sleep later."

However, Talon shook his head in refusal. "No, you already worked extra hard the past few days, you deserve some rest. Besides, I need you at your best mental and physical state for what's about to come."

"..." Hyun-Jae stared dazedly at him for a few seconds before she nodded her head. "Thank you."

"Of course, any time you need help, you can ask me," Talon said as he turned around to leave.

"Where are you going?" The girl asked confusedly.

"Hm? I'm going to leave the room for you to sleep."

"No, it's fine, you can stay. I'm already asking for too much, I wouldn't kick you out of your room." She said.

"But..."

"Please, I really don't mind." Hyun-Jae insisted.

'What's up with her?' Talon could only think when he noticed how adamant she was about him staying. But, since she was insisting, he had no reason to leave.

"Ok, if you don't mind..." Talon shrugged and went back before he sat down on his chair.

Hyun-Jae awkwardly stared at him before she stared at the mattress on the other side of the room.

"If you excuse me..." She murmured as she approached the mattress and slowly sat down on it.

'What am I even doing?' Hyun-Jae asked herself as she felt way more nervous than before. Even when she was fighting monsters, she didn't feel as nervous as she did at that moment which made her feel even weirder.

However, since she already asked, she can't back down now. If anything, as nervous as she was, she still wanted to sleep here for one reason or another. So, with that in mind, Hyun-Jae slowly laid down on the mattress before she stared at the ceiling.

Hyun-Jae had irresistible charms that any man would appreciate. So, the fact that she didn't seem that wary of Talon made him rather confused and also a little happy.

As he was like that, Talon heard a whimper that broke his focus.

"No... No, I didn't do it... I didn't... A mistake..."

Hyun-Jae had a very deep frown on her face as she murmured those words during her sleep. Her hands were balled into fists and her breathing was erratic as if she was fighting some kind of deep fear.

The way she spoke even in her sleep sounded disturbed and terrified to an endless degree. Even when they were facing life-threatening danger, Talon had never seen such a reaction from her.

It reached a point where she even started channeling her Aetheris unconsciously as it fluctuated with her emotions.

"She's having a nightmare..." Talon murmured as he looked at Acrypha. "Should I wake her up?"

"No, that's a bad idea. Let her be." Acrypha said as she approached the girl and looked at her. "Whatever she's dreaming of, it's probably a trauma from her past. You can't wake her up from it or the effect of it will remain even when she's awake."

"I see... Wait, how do you know all of this?" Talon asked.

Acrypha floated back to him. "Let's say I knew someone who had a lot of knowledge about dreams. I learned a few things from them."

"Interesting..." Talon murmured as his eyes went back to Hyun-Jae.

Her whimpers seemed to grow quiet again as her face relaxed a little bit. When he was certain that she was totally back to her deep slumber, Talon stood up and he stretched his arms.

"I'm going to go out to train. I didn't have time to do that yesterday." He murmured. "What about you, Acrypha? Are you going to follow me or go on your own?"

"I already roamed the place as much as I wanted. When you will start moving again, I will explore other areas."

"Suit yourself." He shrugged as he picked up his spear and took one last look at Hyun-Jae before he closed the door behind him quietly and left the gymnasium after making sure things were going according to the plan.

Outside, Talon moved a little far from the building to a secluded place where he could train in quietness. It wasn't that hard to find that kind of place.

"Hmm, perfect." He murmured as he started warming up and then began his training. After learning the horizontal slash, Talon started to master the other moves as much as the first one.

Since they were a lot harder and more technical, they naturally took more time. However, in the past few days, Talon was able to master the thrust and the vertical slash. His rapid pace exceeded Acrypha's expectations by a mile.

Still, even with those two moves mastered, Talon wasn't able to level up Spearmanship to level 4 which annoyed him. His skills were the only thing that slowly leveled up unlike everything else about him.

'Well, I will continue training either way and we will see how things go.' He thought to himself as he began his exercises. What Talon wasn't aware of was the unexpected occurrence that would happen as he was training.
